Disney to Ditch Netflix in Favor of Own Streaming Service

If you currently are enjoying select Disney titles on Netflix, you'd better hurry and get your fill because Disney just announced that they are doing their own streaming thing in the future. Their streaming service won't be available until 2019, so in the meantime, Disney will leave a hole in your life. I think you'll manage to survive though as current Disney titles on Netflix are pretty limited.

In a statement, Disney said that along with new films, its streaming service will also feature other movies from the Disney library as well as Disney Channel, Disney Junior and Disney XD programming. This will be quite a loss for Netflix, which just acquired Mark Millar's comic publishing house earlier this week.
